well i posted a few days ago about how my moms caliber wouldnt start so they took it into the dealership went teh cheap way said it was just tha battery so they replaced it next moring did the exact same thiing so now they have had it for 2 days and wouldnt even give her a rental shes only had the car for 6 months and has already had it in 5 times shes been without her car for two months almost in total first few times was from clunking turns out they had the wrong axle bolts in they said it was from factory way to goy ou idiots how many other cars went outta factory with the wrong axle bolts i love dodge or atleast i did i dunno anymore they have pretty much told my mom we dont know whats wrong so we cant do anything for you no wonder there going outta business some great coustomer service you have there . so my mom decided to go looking around and she found a cailber website with hundreds of other ppl saying the same thing and that there dealership wont do anything either i was gonna go buy a new truck in a few months and my heart was dead set on dodge but now i dont know but anyways she obviously doesnt want the car anymore is there any loop holes we can get through that the dealership has to give her a new car or one with similar milage its an 08 caliber with 10 000 km on it i would really appreciate any advice guys damn i wish canada had the lemon law

 

It ain't just Dodge kid, it's all of 'em anymore. Trust me...

 

i would say screw that dealership and try another one. i had my tranny go at 4000 miles and the dealer i went through took it and fixed it no questions asked. they also gave me a rental (another dodge ram too) took about 2-3 months. but i understood the time it took because of the problems it was having and the fact they didnt do the work they had a tranny shop do it. every dealership is different. notmuch you can do with no lemon law. im not dfamilar with canadian law. if you cant get another dealer to help with the problem then i would have the dealer you bought it from take it back and trade up for something else. iwouldnt buy your dodge truck from that dealer though if they are dicking you around soo much with the caliber. also i used the bbb before with dealerships and had monthly payments paid for me. im am not sure if you have the better business burreau up to CAN but you can check. it works wonders sometimes. all manufactueres have their problems but its usually up to the different dealerships to accomodate you and if they dont they will loose your business for sure.

 

we actually have been to different dealerships this is the third one and yeah we do have the BBB and sure they said we could trade up or whatever but that isnt good for your credit unless they could give a really good deal i think im just mad right now i'll probably buy another truck other then dodge i think everything else is just ugly it would be really nice if they would pay for a month or two of the payments considering they are like 650$ which i think is alot for a caliber lol and its getting really anoyying for both of us trying to drive just my truck

 

HOLY $HIT $650??? thats about $450 per month more than the caliber is worth unless you have a 2 year loan.. i pay $500 for my ram but shes almost paid off now.

 

well thats what happens when you live in canada a nice caliber cost 30,000$ lol and i dunno what her term is lol

 

We gave just under $18,000 American for our 09.

Have you contacted the Dodge consumer service dept yet?

lol crazy my mom has the exact same car as you from what i can see and hers was 30,000 our dodge rams are 45,000 on average but yeah i think my mom was trying to call them today but for some odd reason the 1 800 number was busy but shes gonna go into the dealership tomorrow and fight with them tell them what shes heard from other ppl on the internet cus i guess its a very common problem might try and get a few payments outta dodge cus it only seems fair and if not maybe call the better business bureau and just see what the options are

 

Does CA have the equivalent of US "lemon laws"?

 

Never mind.. speed-reading and missed the last sentence.
